Live Blog: Opening Day 8

Bottom of the eighth.  Brand new ballgame, as they say.  Cubs get a break when Espinosa boots a routine grounder.  They need to take advantage of this break.  Nothing doing.  Ninth inning coming up.

Top of the ninth.  Marmol in to pitch.  He looks OK, more fastballs than I remember.  Tracy hits a hard liner off the wall.  Another misplay by the Cubs, though, DeJesus got all turned around.  Should have caught it even though it was hit hard.  Desmond beats Marmol with a single off the end of his bat.  Looked like a pretty good pitch.  Once again, you cannot give away outs like the Cubs do and win.
